Being that they are no longer conducting a phone interview first, is there a chance of not getting the call after passing the online test? Also my resume was submitted quite a while back, should I keep applying at this point or wait and see if they call and then update at that time?

Why would you not reapply? Showing continued interest will not be looked at in a bad way.... plus, if you don't make it, you've already got your name back in the hat

Anyone having trouble with the APQ on the website? I tried downloading it at it was illegible. Sent resume anyway.

If you are on a MAC, there are some issues. Search this thread for MAC for more information...I don't know the fix off hand.

Please don't tell folks you used a MAC. Following directions is a big part of applying to any job.

From the application website:
"Please click the link below to complete the PAQ:

Pilot Applicant Questionnaire

The PAQ cannot be accessed via any MAC device."

It's fine. Just use Adobe Reader instead of Preview.

Try Adobe Reader for Mac.

Once you get the job, you will be equally impressed by our IT and website design department.

Unfortunately they don't give us the low-down of the interview process so these changes are as new to us as they are to you. Lets hope those that are experiencing this new process are also willing to come on here and share with us. If this part of the process has changed, what else has changed I have to wonder?? It's possible this year there may be some pioneering going on, be prepared and study everything (not just gouge items) and take good notes just in case!!

To re-emphasize; hours/credentials/heavy time don't matter - they never once checked or even asked for a logbook. I was a rarity as a fighter pilot (1,500 hrs F-16, 1,300 hrs A-10, and 1,400 hrs T-38 time [instructor in all], modest civilian time), and I still got the call.
Atlas hiring in the interview is a mystery, but basically they're looking for good people whom others can tolerate on long-haul trips. A caustic, cocky attitude will show you to the door, and they'll see right through it, so be yourself and Atlas will weed out a good fit.
In training, my class had a mix of older guys from other airlines, young regional types, and old- and young-military types. We all got along and had a great time. The hiring process worked quite well.
Still to this day, I haven't met a single person I have had a conflict with in the company. It's almost kind of creepy after coming from the military, where you get used to someone trying to stab you in the back with a smile on their face. )
It's a great company, a class-act, and truly a pleasure to be on-board.
Best of luck to the new hires, interviewees, and hopefuls.
